HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...idiot.

Learner.
I'm eligible for my Drivers Licence on my 17th birthday.

That would be the 16th of December. Woowoo.

OH MY HOLY JESUS AN AMERICAN CALLED IT A UTE QFT.

Seriously, thanks. I love my van more and more every day. I hate the price of diesel compared to petrol here more and more every day.

Petrol slips below a dollar a litre for the first time since May 2004...Diesel sits at $1.45. Oh well, better than the $1.70 it was for a while.

That's why i cycle most places

Here's my 08 gary fisher ferrous. I absolutely love riding this bike. Have added a few things ( ex. saddle, grips..). The steel is a nice change from the rough ride of aluminum, and can take a beating like you wouldn't believe.

wow. that's awfully ****ing cool.

Haha! I'm sick-in-the-head nutty for utes. I wish there were more over here. Pretty much all we ever had were Rancheros and El Caminos. Back in he 70s I saw a 60s Toyota ute and wondered what the heck it was because it was 'pickupped' but looked like a factory job. Wasn't until later that I learned about all your immense variety of them over there.

I'm sure my wife is tickled that I don't have ready access to start a collection; she hates 'em.

Now I just need to change to a 400mm thompson post and I'll be finished. A hair over 21lb as is.

My brother has a ute...it has lots of..."character". By that i mean its a beat up peice of junk that leaks oil

this is great, i totaly dig the bikes some are sick others look really wierd and down right lameto even think about, even worse is i can,t figure out how to get a pic of my ride onto this f/lame computer maglightmatt

how much does your bike weigh, MX?

I still don't like you, kmart!

Woah at first I thought that chelboed had gotten and built up a carbon ibis mojo sl. Was going to point out that it wouldn't last 1 week with him.

Yah...when monkeys fly out of my butt! Only way I could do that is if it were solid instead of hollow...and then I still don't know

No offense, MX. It's a killa machine, I'm just prone to destruction.

hahaha no problem, thanks for helping with kmart.

kmart- i can probably get it just under 25...but no more unless i went full air suspension. my fork is coil too. so it is pretty light whent you consider coil front and rear

After I bought my new Trek I turned the old C'dale into my commuter/winter/night bike.

Good job!!

I like it.

Thanks. I like it to. I think its right at 30# with a sorta lowish end drive train.

Any reason for that? Simplicity?

I don't know about MX but I like the feel of a coil a lot better than an air shock.

Oh, really? Would it be more linear? I've never even ridden an FS bike in my life (well, I rode one around walmart once), and the only coil fork I've ever used was a dart.

It's just more plush. It's a smoother ride.

The dart may as well be a rigid fork when compared to a nice coil fork.

Well, I know that. In fact, for a little bit I was so pissed about the leaking of oil that I almost said screw it and went rigid. The place in the garage where its sitting is covered in oil.

lookin good ca7.

Thanks. I'm loving the new brakes and Fork (and I almost destroyed a log over with my bash guard).
